In the late 1920s, Burlington, Great Northern, and Northern Pacific formed Burlington Escorted Tours to compete with Union Pacific’s escorted tours. The first two booklets here are progenitors of that service. The California booklet represents a joint effort by Burlington and Santa Fe. The rest are CB&Q/GN/NP tours. Most booklets are between 25 and 60 megabytes, so be prepared for a wait unless you have a fast connection.
